    Veal Chop
    Richard S.

    One of my favorites in Westchester. Instead of having my usual, the chicken souvlaki sandwich, tonight I tried the veal chop special with lemon potatoes. Yum. Absolutely love this place. Thankfully they are expanding so a table will hopefully be easier to come by.

    Calamari appetizer
    Cib S.

    The food here is excellent and the portions are generous. It's definitely family friendly so bringing the kids was not an issue. The kids had the "Zeus" which is a chicken/pita dish. They enjoyed; they were confused about the "round French fries", but after tasting it, they were fine. Is adults ordered the red sangria which was pretty good, not too strong, and refreshing enough to have a second glass without consequence. For app, we ordered a calamari dish that was served with chickpeas and feta and seasoned well. For the mains, we had the mixed grill which was also excellent. All the meat was flavorful and not bland at all. Excellent service from the waiters and even the manger/owner came by and smiled and said hello. We will be back here

    Baklava

    Great food and service. Servers are well versed on the menu and know how the dishes are made. Super busy but was seated pretty quickly without a reservation. Reservations are highly recommended.

    Spicy feta dip, so good!
    Lisette R.

    The food at this establishment was SCRUMPTIOUS! I had recently returned from Greece (Athens and Santorini) and was in the mood for GOOD Greek food, not just the usual gimmicky fare. This place did not disappoint. We got complimentary olives and bread (yum!). We shared the spicy feta cheese spread (spicy and delicious!), side salads (super duper fresh), and Meraki mixed grill platter (so many delicious meats, enough for 4 people to share). I was instantly transported to my adventure in Greece...the authenticity was beyond my expectations. The only odd thing, the meat platter came with one very small side (we got the lemon potatoes) which was delicious but not really enough to go with all that meat, so expect to order at least another side. The service was excellent and it had good ambiance. I recommend this place, I'll be back.

    Stuffed Kalamari
    Amy P.

    What a great restaurant! It was my first time here and I couldn't get enough! We started with stuffed calamari and the kounoupidi. The stuffed calamari was like butter, and oozed this cheesy deliciousness of feta inside. Yum! Oh, the cauliflower was amazing in a spiced tomato sauce. Just perfect. For entrées we got the Poseidon platter and The doner platter. The Gyro meat was well spiced and tender and the accompanying Pita was just delicious. The hummus was extra creamy and homemade and the seafood was grilled to perfection. The restaurant itself is very clean and pretty inside. The owner/ manager couldn't have been nicer, and explained different dishes to us as well as the desserts that were offered. We ended this banquet with a wonderful dessert that was recommended-Galaktoboureko. This was a Filo dough, honey infused, pocket of perfection. The service is excellent, and they make you feel like you're part of the family. All in all, it was a wonderful lunch and we will be back!

    Super cute ambience. Nice music. Amazing hospitality and food.

Sad to say, after being loyal customers, this place turned us off tonight permanently. I placed a large anniversary dinner order by phone, including tahdig ($12). During the call, I specifically asked if the rice came with tomato and onion and was told no it comes with the tahdig that I ordered. So yes it comes with the order. I was also asked whether I wanted the gheymeh on top or on the side of the tahdig. I chose on the side. When I got home, the order didn't match what was discussed: The tahdig wasn't traditional rice tahdig like me or my wife have had countless times. It was more like this brownish, sheet-like, crumble with a few flecks of rice on the crumble, but not crispy. Not Persian tahdig. The gheymeh was missing entirely, despite being discussed on the call. The tomato and onion that I was told were included were not there. The fesenjan had only a few pieces of chicken. The ghormeh sabzi was okay, but pretty underwhelming in flavor. I called politely to clarify about the missing tahdig (for next time) and was told someone would call me back. No one did. When I called again an hour later, the same person who took my original order responded in a dismissive and accusatory tone, unilaterally escalating her tone and voice immediately, almost angrily accusing me of daring to call, and told me that the tahdig does not come with gheymeh, and tomato and onion aren't included either. (This is the opposite of what I was told when ordering). She repeatedly interrupted me, talking over me, instead of listening or trying to resolve the issue. We've been coming here since moving from Southern California a few years ago, whenever we felt homesick and wanted some Persian food. The food has always been....OK....nothing like Persian restaurants in Toronto or Southern California, but we continued ordering out of nostalgia and lack of other options. However, this experience today, incorrect information, missing items, no follow-up, and then, the way the situation was handled was our final turn off. Disappointing, especially for what was meant to be a special occasion. We won't be returning, nor will our visiting Persian family or friends.

I hadn't had mediterranean in a while and I'm not head over heels for the place near me so I wanted to try something new. This place seemed decent enough. I ordered a greek salad and hummus with pita. There were varying gyros, another greek salad with chicken, some platters including the falafel platter that GF orderd. My salad was wonderful. The ingredients were fresh and that dressing was lovely. It was a salad I actually enjoyed instead of regretting the entire time I glared at my coworkers who ordered real shit with envy. The hummus was also very creamy, authentic hummus with a slightly different taste than I am used to but head and shoulders above any store bought bullshit. Everyone else said good shit about their food. I tried one of GF's falafel from her platter and it was really good. My only complaint is for $24 or whatever it is, i would expect more than a few falafel balls and one side. Kinda a rip off. But everything tasted really, really good.

I took a quick look at the ratings and the food photos and that was enough for us to set the GPS for the Stone House. Entering, we were greeted immediately and made to feel very welcome. The dining room was lively but we had a nice table and soon had water and bread, which came with a delicious sauce of some kind that had vegetables and cheese in it. It was so good they should sell jars of it! We ordered some shrimp cocktail to start (those were some giant shrimp, although it was only three and four would have been a nice even number) and then I had the rib eye for my main. It doesn't come with anything so I ordered fries on the side. That steak was outstanding! The flavor, the texture...everything was amazing. It came out on a sizzling skillet and it tasted as good as it looked. It was also so big that I took half of it home for lunch and if possible, it tasted even better the next day. I was very pleased. The fries were also exceptional and even though the serving was big, I ate them all. I couldn't help myself! Since I took half of my steak home, I decided there was room for dessert and the chocolate mousse didn't disappoint. The food was so good and the service was so warm and friendly, I definitely want to go back to Stone House Grill. If you're nearby, stop in for a meal. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

It's easy to miss Almadinah if you're not purposefully looking for it - it has somewhat of an inconspicuous exterior that blends with its surrounding businesses. The interior tells a different story - they have a small selection of Middle Eastern groceries, and a menu of hot food to take out. It wasn't crowded when I arrived, but there is a good amount of space so that even if there are a few people shopping and ordering it's not overwhelming. I was here for their hot menu, so I drew my attention towards that; the selection is similar to other Middle Eastern and Halal spots I've been to: chicken, beef, and lamb over rice or in a wrap, falafel, baba ghanoush, and a selection of apps. I decided to get the chicken and rice, the dish came with lettuce as well and I had it topped with white and hot sauce. The dish was great - fresh, warm, and full of flavor. They didn't skimp on any of the components, and all the flavors worked really well together. The dish also included some pita which was a nice touch. Service was fast and friendly, and overall I had a great experience at Almadinah. I'll be honest, I had low expectations of this place since my experiences at eateries in Northern Westchester have been mixed, but they really exceeded my expectations and provided a delicious lunch. I would have no qualms returning if I'm in the area again.

One had eaten and taken out from here before and liked it, so we called, didn't need a reservation, off we went. At about 5:15, give or take, we were the first patrons there. It's a lovely large space, warmly decorated with tables and some banquettes. We chose a 4-top kind of right in the center! Comfy chairs, btw. The menu isn't strictly Greek or Lebanese or Turkish, kind of a combo of good choices from those cuisines. We started with an appetizer called Tinos Artichoke. Very interesting, served with small warm fresh wedges of pita plus a cup of deliciously seasoned pita chips. It's a dip of mashed artichokes with Greek yogurt, sun dried tomatoes, parsley, garlic, feta. S tasty! It's a great portion to share among several people. My friends each ordered the chicken soup with vegetables for appetizers. Quite a nice sized bowl for the price; I love avgolemono, if that's what it was (I didn't taste it), just didn't feel like having soup. They both liked it very much and then they were pretty full! I ordered two appetizers for my meal - Symi Shrimp and Grilled Halloumi. Excellent choices, and they worked really well together as a meal! The 2 slabs of perfectly cooked halloumi are served on a bed of romaine lettuce and some threads of carrot. The shrimp are small, very lightly breaded and deliciously seasoned; menu says garlic, lemon, but they were reddish so I suspect maybe paprika as well or cayenne + paprika (not hot but not bland), shredded feta sprinkled liberally on top. I'm a big eater, but after the appetizer I wasn't able to finish my meal; today I reheated in the toaster oven for a lunch treat! One friend had just the Symi shrimp as her meal; the soup had filled her up and she also took some home. Our other friend had the chicken shish. This came as a really well-balanced plate, with plenty of cubes of chicken, rice, and veggies. We ALL had to-go bags! Appetizer portions, just based on the appetizers we were served, are ample for sharing. Didn't stay for dessert, as I had a train to catch back into the City. When I'm out in Bergen County again, I'll think about coming back. If you live in the area, GO, It's very good and not exorbitantly priced.

Tino's Artichoke is a tasty start - an artichoke dip with feta and sun-dried tomatoes served with pita chips. We'll usually get the mixed grill (but subbing lamb in for the beef, way more flavor). Or, a mix of grilled octopus, grilled calamari and a salad. Everything is very flavorful and goes great with the pita bread. Our calamari was a little chewy this last visit, which surprised me. It's never like that. Octopus is always tender and comes with tasty charred onions, peppers, caperberries. Other delicious dishes here - chicken shish, the steak, gyro, grilled shrimp, lamb shish. Lately they've been decorating tables with fresh flowers - nice touch and complements the candles.
